Tesla is expected to send a software update that will fix a rear camera problem in 8,700 vehicles that could cause an accident, China’s market regulator said Friday.

Some vehicles falling under the recall have unstable rear camera integrated circuit communications owing to software issues. The driver’s field of vision would therefore be affected when reversing, increasing the risk of vehicle collision and posing safety hazards, according to the regulator.
